The National Monuments Service's description
In a farmyard. According to local information, the roof lintels of a ‘cave’ were discovered during land reclamation. The landowner sealed it in the early 1960s to prevent injury to livestock. No visible surface trace survives. A possible cashel lies c. 25m to the SW.
